Recenzii
“This work distinguishes itself among recent solar-system surveys by offering excellent comprehensiveness, conciseness, and accessibility . . . . The authors do a great job blending history and science, addressing when a planetary body was discovered and tracing how astronomers' understanding has changed over time . . . . This is a highly recommended source for an engaging and succinct overview of the solar system's main aspects.”
"Through a combination of rich and enjoyable narrative, historical observations, images and concepts, the latest findings and exceptionally well-selected illustrations, William Sheehan and Clifford J. Cunningham have painted an engaging picture of the structure and evolution of what may well be our unique slice of the cosmos. A comprehensive, up-to-date and easy-on-the-eye summary about our current understanding of the solar system, this gem of a book does not disappoint."
“William Sheehan and Clifford J. Cunningham brilliantly capture the essence of a multifaceted and fast-evolving field. With insights from space probes, observations with ground-based and space telescopes, as well as theoretical work, computer simulations, and exoplanet studies, The Solar System offers a vivid, engaging, and accessible survey of our current knowledge and views. A stunning tour of our cosmic neighborhood!”
“William Sheehan and Clifford J. Cunningham bring impressive historical and scientific acumen to this beautifully illustrated and carefully researched snapshot of our current—and rapidly changing—understanding of our nearest cosmic neighbors. The Solar System is a timely reminder for us all that everything we learn about the diverse and fascinating worlds around us can be brought to bear on the biggest problems and mysteries that we’re trying to solve right here on our home planet.”
